User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 xi Preface Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 xii Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential CH A P T E R 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager Cisco Multicast Manager (CMM) is a web-based network management application that enables monitoring and troubleshooting of IP multicast networks. CMM allows you to: • Discover the devices in your IP multicast network. • Determine the network topology to visualize the network architecture. • Manage the network elements through multicast polling and monitoring of alerts. • Troubleshoot problems by identifying the source of network faults. • Support for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM), PIM Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM), and Multicast VPN (MVPN). This chapter contains the following sections: Note • CMM Applications and Architecture, page 1-1 • Additional Product Features, page 1-5 CMM can run on Linux systems. CMM is not supported on Sun Solaris 10 and Windows Servers. CMM Applications and Architecture CMM is used in several industries, by: • Financial services customers who broadcast information such as stock quotes and prices for other financial instruments over IP multicast. • Service providers who deliver video over IP multicast. Using CMM, video service providers can monitor video quality over multiple channels, view alarms that indicate problems in the video delivery network, and isolate the source of faults that effect video broadcast. CMM includes support for Cisco VidMon monitoring on Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco ASR 9000 devices. • Service providers who need to manage their Multicast VPN (MVPN) environment. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 1-1 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager CMM Applications and Architecture Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Multicast Monitoring and Troubleshooting CMM provides powerful features for monitoring IP multicast networks, including: • Automated multicast discovery and topology generation • Proactive multicast polling and monitoring • Real-time multicast diagnostics, including multicast trace for Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices by PIM neighbor address or by IP Management Address • For VidMon devices (Cisco 7600 series devices and Cisco ASR 9000 series devices, unicast trace as well as multicast trace. • Alerting and reporting • Support for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM), PIM Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM), and Multicast VPN (MVPN) Figure 1-1 shows how Cisco Multicast Manager can be used to trace a multicast group. The trace is presented in tabular and graphical format. The table can update dynamically, showing the packet per second (PPS) rate, output errors, and discards for each interface along the tree. Cisco Multicast Manager also includes support for video probes that might be deployed for monitoring video quality. Video probe monitoring includes the ability to monitor Digital Content Managers (DCMs). The embedded address management database shows which channels are affected if there is a problem with a specific multicast group. Figure 1-1 Using Cisco Multicast Manager to Trace a Multicast Group In environments that use MPLS Point-to-Point Traffic Engineering (P2MP TE), CMM performs a complete multicast trace that traces flows from a source customer network through the P2MP TE tunnel to the destination customer network(s). Support for Cisco Video Solutions CMM can be used to monitor multicast flows used in video networks. For example, CMM is used in the Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution (VAMS), which monitors end-to-end video transmission networks. CMM receives traps from industry standard video probes such as BridgeTech probes, IneoQuest probes, and Mixed Signals probes. Figure 1-2 shows a typical CMM architecture in a video network. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 1-2 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager CMM Applications and Architecture Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Figure 1-2 Cisco Multicast Manager in a Video Network WSDL/traps CiscoMulticast Manager 3.3 iVMS Multicast Control Plane Bridge Tech Probe CRS-1 Router Bridge Head-end Core CRS-1 Router 7600 Distribution CRS-1 Router IQ Video Probe 4948 or 7600 IQV Aggregation CRS-1 Router Last mile Home IP 239271 SNMP traps CRS-1 Router 4948 or 7600 When users view CMM events in the event lists in Cisco VAMS, they can use the cross-launch capability in Cisco VAMS to launch CMM to perform a trace and other analysis of the IP multicast network. For more information on Cisco VAMS see the User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 2.0 at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_video_assurance_mgt_solution/2.0/user/guide /vams_20_user.html Cisco VidMon Support The Cisco IOS supports video monitoring on Cisco 76xx devices and on Cisco ASR 9000 Series devices. IOS video monitoring, referred to as Cisco VidMon, is implemented through IOS CLI commands. CMM video monitoring includes support for the VidMon capability provided in Cisco 7600 series routers running IOS 12.2(33)SRE and in ASR 9000 Series (Viking) devices running IOS XR 3.9.1. The VidMon support in CMM varies for Cisco 7600 series routers and ASR 9000 devices. The Cisco 7600 supports VidMon metrics only on the enhanced service blade (ES+) line cards User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 1-3 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager CMM Applications and Architecture Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential VidMon Metrics Cisco VidMon provides the following video metrics: • Media Delivery Index (MDI) Reporting—MDI is a metric developed in cooperation between IneoQuest and Cisco and presented in RFC 4445. MDI is a combination of two metrics that are used to measure the network’s contribution to video impairments. The two MDI metrics are: – MDI:MLR—MDI:Media Loss Rate indicates whether MPEG packets were dropped. – MDI:DF—MDI:Delay Factor (DF) indicates the buffering requirements for the packets in the media stream. DF represents the difference between the arrival and drain rates of a media stream. This is largely based on the arrival of the IP flow. The DF over an interval period represents the buffering required to handle variations in transmission at a point in the transmission path. • MRV Reporting—Media Rate Variation (MRV) measures loss as a function of the L3/L4 header. For Constant Bitrate Flows (CBR) a normalized bit arrival rate is created based on the known media arrival rate. VidMon Media Rate Variation (MRV) measures loss as a function of the L3/L4 header. For Constant Bitrate Flows (CBR) a normalized bit arrival rate is created based on the known media arrival rate. The video flow is monitored for variations in the arrival rates which represent perturbations caused by excessive delay or loss in the media flow. CMM Implementation of Cisco VidMon CMM implements Cisco VidMon support as follows: 1. When CMM monitors a video flow using VidMon, depending on the device that is monitored, CMM uses two tables: a MDI table and a CBR table. The monitored IOS devices support MDI and CBR as follows: – The Cisco 7600 platform supports both MDI and CBR. The VidMon implementation on Cisco 7600 devices uses a MDI table or a CBR table. The MDI table contains both DF and MDI information. The CBR table contains DF and MRV information. – ASR 9000 Series devices support only CBR through a CBR table. 2. When CMM detects a video flow it looks for the presence of an MDI table. If there is an MDI table, then CMM retrieves DF and MLR information. 3. If there is no MDI table, CMM examines the CBR table for the flow and retrieves DF and MRV information from the CBR table. MLR Reporting For Cisco 7600 devices, CMM allows you to set a MLR threshold in packets. DF Reporting For both Cisco 7600 series devices and Cisco ASR 9000 series (Viking) devices, CMM allows you to set a delay factor in milliseconds and generates a VIDEO DF HIGH event when the DF threshold is exceeded. MRV Reporting For both Cisco 7600 series devices and Cisco ASR 9000 series (Viking) devices, CMM allows you to set a maximum and minimum MRV rate in millisecond percentages, and generates alerts if the maximum or minimum MRV is exceeded: User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 1-4 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager Additional Product Features Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential • When a specified MRV Maximum threshold is exceeded, CMM generates a VIDMON MRV HIGH alert. • When a specified MRV Minimum threshold is reached, CMM generates a VIDMON MRV LOW alert. Using the Graphs tab in the CMM Dashboard interface, you can view real-time graphs that compare MLR, DF, and MRV data for up to four devices at a time. Northbound API CMM provides a software development kit (SDK) that allows you to develop a client application that communicates with CMM by using Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) messages. The API operations provided by the SDK allow you to perform tasks such as: • Getting a trace image file from the CMM server for use by your application. • Getting the Source and Group (S,G) in a domain or on a device. • Getting multicast events. • Getting the multicast devices in a domain. • Adding Layer 2 devices, Layer 3 devices, or video probes in bulk. • Adding, deleting, and viewing polling configurations. Additional Product Features CMM 3.4 release provides the following additional features: • IPv6 Server Support—Starting from this release, CMM provides IPv6 server support and can be installed in IPv6-enabled Linux servers only. • P2MP Discovery—In this release, P2MP device discovery performance has been improvised by reducing the time taken to discover all devices in a network. This is achieved by parallelly executing MIB queries from multicast discovery instead of using device CLIs, which takes more time to process. Note • MIB query-based device discovery is supported only for XR devices and hence no device credentials required in Domain Management interface. But for IOS devices, discovery is performed using device CLIs only and device credentials are required in Domain Management interface. Trap-based Tree Report—Starting from this release, tree polling in CMM is based on trap notifications received from ASR9k devices. Once a trap is received, CMM rediscovers devices in a network, automatically. Tree polling compares the newly generated trace with the baseline trace and when a trace change event is triggered, changes to topology are represented in both graphical and tabular formats. CMM receives the following traps from ASR9k devices: – cmplsTeP2mpTunnelDestUp(1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.142.0.1) – cmplsTeP2mpTunnelDestDown(1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.142.0.2) – mplsTunnelUp(1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.0.1) User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 1-5 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Multicast Manager Additional Product Features Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential – mplsTunnelDown(1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.0.2) – mplsTunnelRerouted(1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.0.3) – mplsTunnelReoptimized(1.3.6.1.2.1.10.166.3.0.4) Note • Browser Support— CMM provides support for Firefox 27 and IE 11.x on Windows 7. • ESXI Support—CMM provides support for Linux Instance of ESXI 5.5. Cisco Multicast Manager 3.3 and later releases support Nexus 7K with version 6.1.2 for Discovery, Trace, Polling, and Diagnostic. If Nexus 7k devices are configured with multicontext VDCs, then CMM will discover the default VDC as well as other VDCs as separate devices.

During tree polling, the most recent tree created by the polling daemon is compared with the baseline tree created in the polling cycle. If the tree changes or reverts to its former state, CMM notifies the user. If you configure tree polling with the Compare Baseline option activated, then dynamic tree baseline functionality is used. With dynamic tree baseline functionality, if the multicast tree changes, then the changed tree is then used as the baseline for further tree polling. Starting with the next polling cycle, the polling daemon compares the most recent tree with the updated baseline (the last changed tree). To enable dynamic tree polling, check the Compare Baseline check box on the Tree Polling Configuration page. Depending on whether you configure dynamic baseline functionality, CMM will enable: • Normal Tree—The tree changes and reverts, because it is always compared with the configured baseline. • Latest Tree Baseline—If latest tree baseline polling is configured, the configured baseline is updated when the tree is changed. Therefore, only tree change notifications are enabled.

CMM provides five types of discovery: • Multicast Discovery, page 5-2 Run multicast discovery to do an initial discovery of the multicast devices in your network and add them to the domain. You can discover routers, or discover both routers and Layer 2 devices (switches). • L2 Device, page 5-17 Run L2 Device discovery to discover Layer 2 devices (switches) in the multicast network. • Video Probe, page 5-18 Run video probe discovery to associate video probes in your network with an already discovered router. • VidMon Device, page 5-20 Run VidMon device discovery to discover Cisco VidMon routers (Cisco 7700 series routers and Cisco ASR 9000 series routers) • Unicast Device, page 5-21 Run Unicast device discovery to add unicast routers to a CMM domain. When you discover devices or video probes, you can enter parameters that tell the Discovery process where to start looking for devices (for example, by specifying a seed IP address or a flat file that contains router IP addresses), or you can import the discovery parameters by specifying the name of a CSV file that contains discovery information. Note Run one discovery run at a time. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 5-1 Chapter 5 Discovery and Trace Discovery Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Note Stop the poller if devices have already been discovered in the domain. Multicast Discovery Multicast Discovery is the process that CMM uses to add multicast devices to a CMM domain. Multicast discovery uses Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) neighbor relationships to locate the network routers that have PIM enabled. When you perform discovery, you can use a Seed IP address or flat file that provides PE addresses or PE addresses and associated CE addresses, or you can use an import file that provides management IP addresses and associated SNMP community strings for Contiguous Discovery by Import. Using a Seed IP address or flat file, you can perform these types of discovery. • Core/Enterprise Discovery/Contiguous —Use Core/Enterprise Discovery/Contiguous to perform contiguous discovery of PIM-enabled devices in your core/enterprise network. • Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE—Use Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE to discover the multicast devices in your core/enterprise network. Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE requires TACACS+ access to the devices in the network. See Creating a Domain, page 10-3. Note If you use Core + CE discovery, the default VRF and PE information are shown on the Interface Polling page. And if you perform Core discovery, when you select a device that has subinterfaces, the subinterfaces are shown. • Distributed Network Discovery/CE-PE—Use Distributed Network Discovery to discover the customer sites using Customer Edge (CE) devices and associated Provider Edge (PE) devices in a distributed network such as an IP/MPLS network. See CE-PE Mapping Discovery, page 5-14. • Distributed Network Discovery/PE Only—Use Distributed Network Discovery to discover the customer sites using Provider Edge (PE) devices in a distributed network such as an IP/MPLS network. • Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP—Use Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP to discover the customer sites in a distributed network that uses Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Traffic Engineering over a TE tunnel, such as a MPLS/P2MP network. Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP discovery requires TACACS+ access to the devices in the network. See Creating a Domain, page 10-3. • Single Device Discovery—After you have run Core Enterprise or Distributed Network discovery, use Single Device Discovery to discover a single device or a device and its adjacent PIM neighbors. The first time that you perform multicast discovery, use Core/Enterprise Discovery or Distributed Network Discovery. CMM will build a network topology database based on what it discovers. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 5-2 Chapter 5 Discovery and Trace Discovery Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Tip After performing initial discovery, if you need to add additional devices to the inventory of discovered devices, use Single Device Discovery. If you run Core/Enterprise Discovery or Distributed Network Discovery a second time after the initial run, all of the topology that was discovered initially is lost and replaced by the revised discovery information. Using Single Device Discovery, however, will not overwrite your additional discovery information—it will retain the initial information and add the single device (as well as its PIM neighbors if you specify this option). If you choose Contiguous Discovery by Import, you have one choice for the discovery method. To run multicast discovery: Step 1 From the Multicast Manager menu, choose Discovery & Trace. Step 2 Select Discovery. Step 3 Select Multicast Discovery. The Router Discovery page appears, showing the list of routers that have been discovered so far. Step 4 Click Discover. Step 5 From the pull-down menu in the Discovery field, choose the type of basic discovery: • By Seed IP/Flat File—Choose By Seed IP/Flat File to perform most types of discovery. • Contiguous Discovery by Import—Choose this method if you are implementing the Trace by IP Management address feature. If you choose Contiguous Discovery by Import, go to Contiguous Discovery by Import, page 5-12 for detailed instructions. Step 6 If you choose By Seed IP/Flat File, the Discovery Add/Modify page appears. The Discovery Add/Modify page contains three tabs. Step 7 Do one of the following: • To perform continuous Core/Enterprise Discovery, specify discovery parameters as indicated in Core/Enterprise Discovery/Contiguous, page 5-4. • To perform Core/Enterprise discovery using a mapping file that discovers the core network and associated CE routers, see Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE, page 5-5. • To perform Distributed Network Discovery, click the Distributed Network tab. The Distributed Network tab appears. – To perform distributed network discovery using a mapping file that specifies CEs and associated PEs, see Distributed Network Discovery/CE-PE Mapping, page 5-6. – To perform distributed network discovery using PEs only, see Distributed Network Discovery/PE Only, page 5-7. – To perform distributed network discovery for a network that uses P2MP TE tunnels, see Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP, page 5-8. • To perform Single Device Discovery, click the Single Device Discovery tab. See Single Device Discovery, page 5-11.

Distributed Network Discovery/CE-PE Mapping This type of discovery is used to discover all customer site devices under a single domain by ignoring the core network. This discovery will bypass the core network by using the PE-CE flat file. This will perform a contiguous discovery for all customer sites with CE devices available in flat file as seed IP and add the discovered devices in a single domain. Note In this type of discovery, you have to configure Service Type to run the trace from one customer site to other customer site. Service Type can be configured by mentioning source CE and destination CE. To discover devices in a distributed network using a file that provides CE-PE mapping information: Step 1 Edit a text file that provides the IP addresses of the CE devices and associated PE devices, code a CSV file that lists the IP addresses for CE devices and associated PE devices in the following format: CE1=PE1:PE2:PE3, CE2=PE1:PE2:PE3 This type of discovery requires CLI access to the PE devices, to enable identification of the CE devices and other connected devices. To provide CLI access, ensure that the System Configuration page in the Domain Management interface specifies username and password information to enable CLI access.

Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP CMM will discover all core routers in MPLS P2MP TE tunnel, including all customer sites. CMM expects all interfaces to be reachable from CMM server to core routers (PE and P routers). User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 5-8 Discovery and Trace Discovery Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential You can run trace across customer sites through MPLS P2MP TE tunnels. Here core network is basically connected as MPLS P2MP TE tunnel and PIM is not enabled on the core routers involved in the P2MP TE tunnel except headend and tailend. You can configure for this trace and if there is any violation in the trace of the SG via the PE-PE tunnel, then it will be notified as an event. Figure 5-1 Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP CE2 (Emulated) Multicast Receiver 10.20.20.20 PIM PE2 (Emulated) Multicast Source 10.10.10.10 P02 PIM PIM CE1 PE1 P01 P04 P03 CE4 PE4 (Emulated) Multicast Receiver 10.40.40.40 PE3 P2MP TE Headend Sub-LSP Tailend CE3 PIM (Emulated) Multicast Receiver 10.30.30.30 Sub-LSP Backup LSP 195424 Chapter 5 Figure 5-1 shows PE1 as the tunnel headend router and PE2, PE3, and PE4 as tunnel tailend routers. The following sub-LSPs are signaled from PE1 in the network: From PE1 to PE2, the sub-LSP travels the following path: PE1 -> P01 -> P02 -> PE2 From PE1 to PE3, the sub-LSP travels the following path: PE1 -> P01 -> P03 -> PE3 From PE1 to PE4, the sub-LSP travels the following path: PE1 -> P01 -> P04 -> PE4 CMM will find the sub-LSP paths through the P2MP TE tunnel from headend to tailend. CMM will verify the tasks listed below to run multicast trace through P2MP TE tunnel. 1. CMM has to discover all core routers including all customer sites. CMM expects all interfaces to be reachable from CMM server to core routers (PE and P routers). 2. CMM assumes there is no VRF configured at PEs, and CEs and PEs (head/tail of tunnel) are interconnected as PIM neighbor devices. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 5-9 Chapter 5 Discovery and Trace Discovery Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential 3. Once CMM multicast trace reaches to the device configured for tunnel, it will check the status of the device. If the device is a headend PE router, then it will proceed with P2MP Tunnel type trace, else the multicast trace will stop. 4. If the tunnel device is a headend, then CMM will find all sub-LSP destinations and will find the explicit path for each sub-LSP. 5. Once CMM reaches to the end of the sub-LSP, then existing trace logic will be used to trace through customer site. Follow the steps given below to start P2MP discovery: Step 1 Edit a text file that provides the IP addresses of the CE devices and associated PE devices; code a CSV file that lists the IP addresses for CE devices and associated PE devices in the following format: CE1=PE1:PE2:PE3, CE2=PE1:PE2:PE3 This type of discovery requires CLI access to the PE devices, to enable identification of the CE devices and other connected devices. Ensure that the System Configuration page in the Domain Management interface specifies username and password information to enable CLI access. For XR devices to start P2MP discovery: Code a CSV file that lists the IP addresses of all devices and associated PE devices in the following format: all CE1=PE1, CE2=PE2 This type of discovery does not require CLI access to the PE devices, instead it uses MIB queries to connect to all devices in a P2MP network.

User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 9-27 Chapter 9 License Info Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 9-28 Administration Review Draft - Cisco Conf ide ntial CH A P T E R 10 System Configuration This chapter contains the following sections: • Set Up Trace by Management IP Address (Optional), page 10-1 • Domain Management, page 10-2 • Global Polling Configuration, page 10-6 Set Up Trace by Management IP Address (Optional) The trace function in CMM 3.1 and previous releases required access to the PIM interface of the device. From CMM 3.2, trace functionality is available in the multicast network even if the PIM interface is not accessible. This is an optional configuration in the event that in your network PIM interface access is restricted across particular points. In most cases, you can use the default setting (trace using PIM interface IP address). Note The feature is domain specific. The same router can be in multiple domains with some domains using autodiscovery and PIM interfaces for CMM multicast trace and other domains using IP Management addresses for CMM multicast trace. The Trace by IP Management Address feature is implemented in two files: • The multicasttrace_type.properties file—A trace configuration file that specifies whether CMM uses the IP management address of the device or the PIM neighbor address of the device to perform a trace. See Coding the multitrace_type.properties File, page 10-2. • A CSV file that you provide to list the Management IP addresses and associated SNMP community strings for the devices you will manage using the feature. See Coding a CSV File to Provide Management IP Addresses, page 10-2. Implementing Discovery for Trace by Management IP Address To use the Trace by IP Management Feature, you must perform Discovery using the Contiguous Discovery by Import setting. For information on this setting, see Contiguous Discovery by Import, page 5-12. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-1 Chapter 10 System Configuration Domain Management Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Coding the multitrace_type.properties File The multicasttrace_type.properties file is located in the following directory: CMMROOT/mmtsys/sys Example 10-1 shows a sample multicasttrace_type.properties file. Example 10-1 Sample multicasttrace_type.properties File #**************************************************** # Copyright (c) 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. # All rights reserved. #**************************************************** # Give 1 -> for Trace using management Ip address and 0 -> for PIM interface ip address useManagementIp=0 If you need to change the default trace functionality, edit this file to specify the type of trace functionality your CMM installation uses. To specify: • Trace using IP management address - set useManagementIp=1 • Trace using PIM interface IP address - set useManagementIp=0 In the example above, trace functionality is set to use the PIM interface IP address. In the CMM trace page, trace functionality shows the same output for both types of trace. Coding a CSV File to Provide Management IP Addresses If you are using the Trace by IP Management address feature, then before you perform device discovery, you must code a comma-separated value (CSV) file that provides the management IP address and associated SNMP community string for each device in your multicast network. The CSV file has the following format: , Example 10-2 shows a sample CSV file. Example 10-2 Sample CSV file for a Domain Using Management by IP Address 10.1.255.1, snmp-ro 10.1.255.1, snmp-ro Domain Management The first step in CMM for monitoring the multicast network is to create a domain. A domain is the grouping that you assign to the multicast network. A domain can include Layer 2 (L2) devices, Layer 3 (L3) devices, video probes, and VidMon devices. Multiple domains can exist, and routers can belong to multiple domains. Using Domain Management, you can create and edit domains. You can create a domain by in two ways: • By adding the domain and setting the configuration manually. See Creating a Domain, page 10-3. • By importing an existing domain configuration from a comma-separated value (CSV) file. See Importing a Domain, page 10-6. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-2 Chapter 10 System Configuration Domain Management Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Creating a Domain To create a domain: Step 1 From the Multicast Manager menu, choose System Configuration. Step 2 Select Domain Management. The Domain Management Summary page appears. The domain summary page contains all the domain information specific to the server and also indicates whether the domains in the server are discovered. Click Start Discovery to discover the domains that are undiscovered. To re-discover the previously discovered domains, click the Re-discovery link for the domain. Step 3 To add a new domain, click the Add button and from the drop-down list, choose By Domain. Step 4 To edit an existing domain, check the check box for the desired domain and click Edit. The System Configuration page contains the following fields: Field Description Management Domain Name A management domain is defined as a contiguous group of PIM neighbors sharing the same SNMP community string. The domain name that you specify can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores ( _). Read Only Specify the SNMP read-only community string. Also specify the same string in the “verify” field. This string is required for retrieving device configurations. Read Write Specify the SNMP read-write community string. Specify the same string in the “verify” field. This string is required to write any configuration settings to the device. SNMP Timeout Retry period if the node does not respond. You can set the SNMP Timeout value based on the optimum value required for your network. The default value is 0.8. SNMP Retries Number of retries to contact a node before issuing a timeout. You can set the SNMP Retries value based on the optimum value required for your network. The default value is 2. TFTP Server Specify the TFTP server IP address. The default is the IP address of the Cisco Multicast Manager server. VTY Password Enter the device password to communicate with the devices in the domain. This password will be used for all CLI communication for this domain. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-3 Chapter 10 System Configuration Domain Management Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Field Description Enable Password Enter the password and verify the password. The application will use this value for execution of some CLI commands over non-VRF aware devices. TACACS/RADIUS Username If a TACACS/RADIUS server is used to authenticate users, enter a username here. If you plan to use Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE discovery or Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP to discover your network, you must enter a TACACS+ username and password. TACACS/RADIUS Password Note When the network consists of XR-IOS (ASR9K devices), TACACS+ username and password are not required. Note If you enter a TACACS/RADIUS username and password here, the application will use these values for internal CLI command execution over non-VRF aware devices regardless of who is logged in. Users can also enter their own username and password when issuing show commands. If you are using TACACS/RADIUS, you can enter a password here. If you plan to use Core/Enterprise Discovery/Core + CE discovery or Distributed Network Discovery/P2MP to discover your network, you must enter a TACACS+ username and password. CLI Access Note When the network consists of XR-IOS (ASR9K devices), TACACS+ username and password are not required. Note If you enter a TACACS/RADIUS username and password here, the application will use these values regardless of who is logged in. Users can also enter their own username and password when issuing show commands. Select Telnet, SSH v1, or SSH v2. Based on this selection, CMM will use Telnet, SSH v1, or SSH v2 to communicate to the devices on this domain. You can change the CLI access method on several CMM pages that issue CLI commands, as required for the device that CMM needs to communicate with. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-4 Chapter 10 System Configuration Domain Management Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Step 5 Field Description Threshold Polling Check the check box for enabling CLI mode of threshold polling. The routers being polled are the ones for which Cisco IOS and chassis information were configured in the rmspollcli.conf file. Cache TACACS Info Check the check box to cache the TACACS username and password until the browser is closed. This eliminates the need to enter the username and password each time that you issue a router command from the application. Use Cache Some networks contain thousands of S,Gs. During discovery, CMM caches all the S,Gs found in the RPs. If this box is checked, CMM reads the S,G cache when showing lists of sources and groups, rather then retrieving them again from the RPs in the network. The cache can also be refreshed manually by clicking the Reload Cache button in the Multicast Diagnostics window. This button appears only if you have the Use Cache option selected. We highly recommend that you use the S,G cache option. If there are no RPs in the domain being discovered, then the S,G cache is created by querying all the devices that have been discovered, as would be the case in a PIM Dense-Mode network. In this case, the S,G cache is updated only when you click the Reload Cache button. Auto L2 Discovery Check the Auto L2 Discovery check box to automatically discover Layer 2 devices in your network. Complete the fields in the System Configuration page and click Save and then Reset to clear the data fields and create the new domain. Click Cancel to exit without creating a domain. The new domain name appears in the list of domains on the Domain Management page. Step 6 If you want to discover the devices in the domain at this time, click on the Start Discovery link in the table row for the domain. If you click on Start Discovery, the Multicast Discovery page appears, which allows you to enter parameters for the discovery process. Step 7 For information on the Multicast Discovery page and discovering a domain, see Multicast Discovery, page 5-2. Rediscovering a Domain On the Domain Management page, domains that have been previously discovered have a Re-discovery link in the table row for the domain. If you want to rediscover the domain, click the Re-discovery link for the domain. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-5 Chapter 10 System Configuration Global Polling Configuration Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential If you click on Start Discovery, the Multicast Discovery page appears, which allows you to enter parameters for the discovery process.

Each element also has its own polling interval. You can configure these values through the Global Polling Configuration page. Note You must restart the polling daemon after making changes on this page. Click the Restart button in the Polling Actions field to restart polling. Click the Stop button to stop polling. To configure global polling: Step 1 From the Multicast Manager menu, choose System Configuration. Step 2 Select Global Polling Configuration. The Global Polling Configuration page appears. Step 3 On the top part of the Global Polling Configuration page, configure polling intervals and run times for each type of polling, as shown in the following table. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-6 Chapter 10 System Configuration Global Polling Configuration Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Note Setting any one of these values to less than 1 disables that specific polling feature. Field or Button Description Default Run Times—Use Defaults Checking the Use Defaults check box sets all the start and stop times, and days to the default values. DR Polling Interval Enter the polling interval to check the status of all DRs in the network. If a DR is changed, CMM polling alerts CMM users. Layer 2 Polling Interval Enter the polling interval to monitor the routing table when creating baselines. Route Monitor Polling Interval Enter the polling interval to monitor specific multicast routes. Specific Route Monitor Polling Interval Specify a time interval for specific route monitor polling. RP Polling Interval Enter the polling interval to monitor the number of Multicast Groups present on an RP, and so on. RP Status Polling Interval Enter the polling interval for RP Status Polling. RP status polling queries the sysUpTime of the RPs configured on the RP Polling Configuration page. The purpose of this query is to report availability of the RPs. If the RP responds, an rpReachable trap is sent. If the RP does not respond, an rpUnreachable trap is sent. Since at least one of these traps is sent at each polling interval, you can also use them to ensure that the polling daemon is up and running. RPF Failure Polling Interval Time interval at which each router will be polled for every configured source and group, to check on the number of RPF failures. Threshold Polling Interval Time interval that each router will be polled for the existence of each source and group configured. CMM will ensure that no thresholds are exceeded. Multicast Topology Polling Interval Topology polling queries the sysUpTime of each router in the multicast domain to see if it has been reloaded. If it has, the polling daemon launches a Single Router Discovery of that device in the background, to ensure that the SNMP ifIndexes have not changed. Tree Polling Interval Time interval at which the monitored trees are drawn and compared with their baselines. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-7 Chapter 10 System Configuration Global Polling Configuration Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Field or Button Description Interface Polling Interval Time interval where the percent of multicast bandwidth per interface is compared to the thresholds. Health Polling Interval Time interval at which the configured health checks are scheduled to run. Selective Source Polling Intervals Time intervals set to the source and group to be monitored for the particular time and day. The time interval configured should not be overlapping for the same source and group. Heart Beat Polling Interval Time interval at which the heart beat trap is sent to the northbound application. These traps serve as the notification about the health of the polling daemon. MVPN Polling Interval Frequency MVPN data and whose entries would be polled PE devices. Video Probe Polling Interval Time interval that the video probes are polled for MDI values. Vidmon Polling Interval Time interval that VidMon devices (Cisco 7600 series routers and in ASR 9000 Series (Viking) devices are polled for Cisco VidMon statistics. Note Step 4 Video Probe Clear Timer Interval that Cisco Multicast Manager changes a yellow warning indicator to a green OK indicator. Save Sets the values that you have entered. Scroll down the page to see the Trap Receiver and Global Default E-mail configuration sections of the page opens.. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-8 If you are monitoring 1000 or more flows, We recommend that you set the VidMon Polling interval to 1 min. Chapter 10 System Configuration Global Polling Configuration Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Step 5 Step 6 To enable or disable the continuous sending of PPS threshold traps, use the Enable Rising/Falling and Normalized Traps for Thresholds section: • If the Rising/Falling option is not checked (disabled), traps are sent whenever the PPS rate for a monitored S,G exceeds specified thresholds. • If the Rising/Falling option is checked (enabled), a trap is sent only when the PPS rate initially exceeds the high or low threshold. After the PPS rate returns to the specified range, a normalized threshold trap is sent. • Because SNMP v1 traps are sent unreliably, you can set the Trap-Repeat option to allow the initial and normalized traps to be sent from 1 to 5 times when an event occurs. To add trap receivers, complete these steps: a. Go to the Configure Global Default SNMP Trap Receivers section. b. Enter the IP address for the trap receiver. c. Click the Add button. The IP address appears in the Configured Trap Receivers list. d. Note If you want to forward Mixed Signal traps northbound to another application, check the Forward Mixed Signal Traps check box. If you enable the Mixed Signal trap forwarding option, the Mixed Signal traps are not displayed on the trap viewer page. User Guide for Cisco Multicast Manager, 3.4 10-9 Chapter 10 System Configuration Global Polling Configuration Review Draft - Cisco Conf idential Note e. The SNMP trap receivers specified here are only used if domain-specific SNMP trap receivers are not specified. Domain-specific trap receivers are specified from the Domain Trap/E-mail Polling Configuration page. Click the Save button. A message appears instructing you to start the snmptrapd processes to cause the changes in Mixed Signal trap forwarding to take effect. Step 7 To remove trap receivers, click the IP address of the trap receiver that you want to remove and then click the Remove button, then click Save. Step 8 To add or remove e-mail addresses, use the Configure Global Default E-mail Addresses for Event Notification section. E-mail addresses are notified of SSG exceptions and threshold related events. The e-mail addresses specified here are used only if domain-specific e-mail addresses are not specified. Domain-specific email addresses are specified from the Domain Trap/E-mail Polling Configuration page.
